...Introduction
The rule of law is fundamental in any society where human rights are to be protected. The word rule comes from “règle” and law from “lagu” roughly translating to “supremacy of law”.1It is a mechanism for safeguarding human rights by guaranteeing them legally and at the same time providing a means for redressal where violations occur.
The most important application of the rule of law is the principle that government authority is legitimately exercised in accordance with established procedural steps that are referred as to due process. The principle is intended to be a safeguard against arbitrary governance, whether by a totalitarian leader. Thus, the rule of law is hostile both to dictatorship and to anarchy.
Since a democracy is characterized by majority rule whereby the law is whatever the majority says it is, the rule of law as a result is one of the measures taken to prevent tyranny by that same majority. Thus, it can be said that the rule of law protects the rights of individuals from the whims of the majority. As a consequence, democratic countries require the rule of law due to the fact that it establishes the foundation for certain conditions on which democracy depends unlike authoritarian states which may be governed either by personal power or loyalty.

...Educational laws and acts are required to protect the rights of students and employees in the school setting. Title VII, Pregnancy Discrimination Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title IX, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Equal Access Act, Civil Rights, Section 504 of Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act are a few educational laws that will be discussed below.
Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin. The law also makes it illegal to retaliate against a person because the person complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination, investigation or lawsuit. The law also requires that employers reasonably accommodate applicant’s and employee’s sincerely held religious practices, unless doing so would impose and undue hardship on the operation of the employer’s business (U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 2013). Title VII protects students and teachers from this kind of discrimination. Everyone is not the same color, race, sex or practices the same religion so there will have to be some kind of balance that will allow everyone to be accepted and this is the act that does so.
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act amended Title VII to make it illegal to discriminate against a woman because of pregnancy, childbirth or a medical condition...

Essay 2:
The problem with this defense is that insanity in this particular essay is either examined from a legal angle or a psychoanalytical one which involves talking to people and having them take tests. There is however, no scientific proof confirming the causal relationship between mental illness and criminal behavior based on a deeper neurological working of the brain sciences. The psychiatrist finds his/herself in a double bind where with no clear medical definition of mental illness they must answer questions of legal insanity beliefs of human rationality, and free will instead of basing it on more concrete scientific facts.
The criminal justice system and modern science approach the question with interestingly different perspectives. The M'Naghten rule allows little room for negotiation of the crime details. Essentially, the defendant is declared either sane or insane; the defect of reason from a brain disease makes them either right or wrong. Advances in the field of neuroscience indicated that certain mental diseases were caused in part by factors outside the control of the individual inflicted with the disease and the fact that medication could be used to successfully alter one's behavior was a scientific breakthrough.
There was a case by the name of John Hinckley case that was re-popularized the tough rule of the M'Naghten creating an ambiguous relationship between...

...﻿ General Principles of Succession and Inheritance under Muslim Law
The Holy Quran states "Allah has purchased from the believers their persons and their wealth in lieu of Jannah." Man is a trustee of the wealth that he owns for his duration of his life. When his term of life expires, his trusteeship over his wealth and property expires. It has then to be redistributed in accordance with the directive of The Absolute Owner­ Allah Ta’la. Directives regarding the distribution of wealth after the demise of the provisional owner are explicitly detailed in the Holy Quran.
Inheritance Laws deals with distribution of one's wealth after he/she expires. It deals with two key issues:
1. Provide laws pertaining to distribution of wealth amongst heirs, so heirs don't fight.
2. Ensure that a just system can be established and the wealth is not accumulated into single entity.
General Inheritance Law in Islam is based on following considerations:
1. Break up the concentration of wealth and distribution of wealth in society
2. Respect right of ownership of an individual that he earned through legal means, and not allow any individual, group or government to confiscate his property after his demise.
3. Endorse and consolidate strong family system by justly distributing wealth amongst the heirs. 4. Provide peace of mind that after our demise our family will be given their just right of inheritance.
5. It pays especial focus on...

...﻿Role and Functions of LawLaws are the principles and regulations established, whether in the form of legislation or policies recognized and enforced by judicial decision ("Dictionary.com", 2014). In general, laws serve some main functions such as: provide safety for individuals and their assets, resolve conflicts, and protect civil liberties. In our society and business there are laws that have been created as a body of rules that we must follow. It regulates a lot of what we think and do, though some may not be as obvious as others. It is assumed that, each act we partake in is accompanied by the express consideration of a law or societal rule, and as so, we proceed accordingly.
Law plays a significant role in the successful operation of business and society. Laws regulate social behavior, which leads to a society that runs efficiently. Many laws provide ethical standards as well as expectations. We started with the constitution, which establishes the fundamental principles of a government at the state and federal level. This includes creating the branches of the government, preventing other governmental units from passing certain laws, and bestowing and refusing certain powers to each branch. The U.S. Constitution is the Supreme Law of the US. In addition to setting out the structure of the three branches of the Government...

...﻿1) a- Yes, P may recover, as this is a breach of the contract. P, in agreeing to accept the pension, forfeited his rights to take another job in the industry. This is a legal detriment to P, the promisee – one which did not exist prior to the formation of the contract.
b- This is not enforceable. This is an example of past consideration, which is not consideration. P had already rendered the service at the time the company’s promise was made. In other words, the service was not induced by or given in exchange of the promise. If the promise were in writing and acknowledged the past consideration, however, this contract would be enforceable.
3) This is an example of payment on liquidated debt. Because D assumed a new legal detriment – that is, he would not only pay the originally-agreed upon $50,000, but also pay 9% interest on top of that amount – C is legally bound on his promise.
4) No, the debt is not discharged, as this is a matured liquidated debt and is only satisfied when the debtor completes his/her entire obligation – full payment. In addition, as NY GOL 5-1103 states, a signature endorsing a check is not legally sufficient for accepting a lesser amount to satisfy an existing debt. In other words, there must be accompanying documentation with the promisor’s signature, indicating the acceptance of a lesser amount to satisfy the debt.
5) S may not recover here, as there exists accord and satisfaction in a disputed form of liquidated debt. In this...
